When Mr. Loeb was in the air service his jobs included; crew chief on the C- 130 aircraft, worked on the C- 130 aircraft, vehicle maintenance for Red Horse. For these jobs he basically had to fly with the aircrafts when they flew, resupplied the troops with ammo or any other cargo that they needed at the time, and he flew into all the other air bases, landed on dirt roads or anything so the Marines or Special Forces could have what they needed.
He got to see about every country in the world over his thirty five years, and he got to meet a lot of nice people. For his Red Horse, which stands for Rapid Engineer Deployable Heavy Operational Repair Squadron Engineer, he got to build air bases all over so the troops could land. When we was over there, he got to build bases in about seven or eight countries. They also did a lot of humanitarian building in third world countries. He said that the best part of the humanitarian work was getting to see the appreciation on someone's face.
